Suicide by Animals.

On the ub.ect of suicide by ANIMALS
R. H. Busk writes to Noes and Qmri>r:
I am disinclined to believe in deliberate
intention of suicide in so-called "ani-
mails" for one reason among others, be-
cause think if they are capable of en-
tcrtaining the idea they would take ad-
vantage of it so often, to be rid of the
miscries the human animal inflicts on
them, that the present doubt would not
exist. Would not half the cab-horses
crawl into the Thames, and would not
high-spirited mongrels devise means of
being beforehand with the policeman's
truncheon? Nevertheless, l have Just
been credibly informed of an authentic
instance. A gentleman with whom 1 had
a slight acquaintance, residing not many
doors from me, went last winter to the
south of France on a visit to relations.
lie was out of health, certainly, but it
was quite expected that the change Of
climate would restore him. His "faith-
full dog" did not ''bcar him company
but remained with his wife and friends.
The hopes OF his recovery proved falla-
cious. and when the news of his death
came it was an unexpected grief. The
dog seemed fully to understand the ma
turc of the bereavement, and shared the
grief of the family to such an over
whelming extent that one day it went
to an upper window and jumped out,
killing itself in 4 very distressing way

Drummed Out of Camp.

John O'Neal was drummer of our
regiment and although he had music in
his soul, it was SO continually drowned
by whisky as to find a decidedly scat
tered expression through the drumsticks.
Marches were so dreadful:y mixed up
with quicksteps and funeral dirges that,
when he was to help furnish the music,
it was rs equally impossible to infuse mil
itary ardor on the parade as to clothe
with proper solemnity the funeral of a
comrade.
Finally, John got to be so habitual a
resident of the guard house that the
drum-maior could get no service from
him whatever, and it was decreed that
he should be drummed ont of the regi-
ment.
The drum-major arranged and gave
orders that the ten fifers should play ten
different tunes, and that there should be
a proper and vigorous accompaniment
from the nine 'boisterous untuned
drums" The music may possibly be
imagined by very versatile musician,
but cannot be described until some more
language has been invented.
In this triumphal manner we escorted
him through the camp, and about half a
mile outside the regimental lines.
On taking leave of us, which, of course,
was in most friendly way, es there was
no personal dislike between him and the
other musicians, he made us the follow
ing farewell speech:
''Boys! You have succeeded in Great
ing q most terrific disturbance, but very
little music. ."-TNe Comrade.

Before the Havana Cathedral.

One short block from the Plaza di
Armas, writes a correspondent of the
Boston Courier, finds us within the large
open square in front of the grand cathe-
dral of Havana In all the streets through
which we had heretofore passed. the
sidewalks were so narrow that two peo-
pie could not walk abreast, but here, be.
fore the church, they we're very wide and
completely throngcd with dcvotees seek:
ing their shrine to worship. We paused
to view the faces of the passers-by; old
and young, rich and poor, all mingled
in one company; carriage alter carriage
rolled up to the broad stone STEPS end
deposited its freight; ladies richly
dressed in the witching Spanish costume,
the long sweeping veil of black lace,
which forms the only head covering
worn by ladies of quality, and the fan,
the inseparable fan. Shoes and stock
ings would be dispensed with before the
fan. All were hurrying through the
open portals of this temple Of worship.

Lake Cities.

The remarkable villages built on piles
in prehistoric times were not confined to
the lakes of Switzerland. Similar lake
cities are traced in Italy, Austria, Hun
gary, Pomerania, France and Savoy, but
they arc generally smaller, and nearly all
belong to the age of polished stone, in
stead of extending through several peri
DDS. In Switzerland over two hundred
of the villages arc known, forty being in
the lake of Neuchatcl. Each contained
about three hundred huts, and some of
them must have had population of
twelve or fourteen hundred. Scientific
gue<ses have placed the age of some Of
the lake cities at no less than seven
thousand years old. axe dwellers have
not been unknown in historical tlmeI.
Herodotus describes a people who lived
in a plat 'orm city over Lake Prasias in
Thrace, and in the present day dwell
ings on piles over water are built in
many parts of the world, including New
Guinea, Borneo, Celebes, and even
Russia.

Horses Saved by Choking.

In hauling ice from a pond near Mon
roe avenue, in the eastern outskirts of
the city, the other day, the tcamsters
drove upon strip that had been cut,
and suddenly found themselves, together
with team and load, submerged in water
eight feet deep. The men found it an
easy matter to get out of the water, but
they could barely keep the horses from
drowning. They were deliberating as
to way of rcscuing the animals, when
S, A. Crandall, of Spring street, sug-
gcsted the novel idea of choking the
horses, declaring that if this were done
they would turn up their heels and float
like bladder. 1t was done, and the
horses were paomptly foated upon a
s>lid cake of ice. Mr. Crandall says he
saw this idea executed with success by
IN ice dealer in Minnesota last winter,
and thinks it we'll worth remembering.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Loss of Appetite in Pigs.

Fattening pigs easily lose their appee-
tite by reason of overfeeding, and this
checks their growth and is waste OF
feed. To avoid this result it is wei! to
change the feed occasionally for day
or two now and then. When corn IS the
regular food bran makes wholesome
and nutricious change, and 1T may be
given with boiled potatoes without any
cessation OF the fattcning. Pigs will
fatten more quickly the more food they
can be induced to eat and dige t, and
variety of food tends to this result, both
encouraging the appetite and helping dl,
gestion. To restore the appetite cloyed
with corn, we would suggest lew
days feeding with potatoes and corn
boiled together until the potatoes are
mushed, and then some bran or m d
dlings stirred in. If when cold it is too
thick warm water should be added uutil
it can be eaten easily. Add little salt,
not more than q teaSpoonful to feed for
each pig.-Nep York. Times.

A Few Facts Necessary.

1t often happens that "smart" young
limbs of the law take great delight in
asking superauous questions of medical
witnesses when on the stand, with view
to puzzlis G or a.soyine them. One such
was examining the celebrated
French chemist, Or6la, and put him the
question whether he could state the pre-
else amount of arsenic to kill fly. "Cer-
tainly," replied the expert; "but must
know beforehand the age OF the fly, its
sex, its temperament, its condition and
habits of body, whether married or
single. widow or maiden, widower or
bachelor"

Feeding charcoal to pigs is hcalthful,
